Why do Microsoft have two identical apps?


The two apps I’m talking about is Microsoft Start [1] and Bing Ai [2]. What’s their strategy here? Both do the same thing but branded under different name.

Start seems to be their "curated content" news aggregator and Bing Ai the search app with GPT-4.

I'd guess that they're testing which app yields more data from users.
